The repeating thuds of hammers echoed throughout a Gastonia neighborhood as more than a dozen hard hat-clad volunteers spent Saturday building a new Habitat for Humanity home.

Habitat for Humanity of Gaston County is a nonprofit group which partners with volunteer community members to build or renovate homes alongside homeowners to help them pay an affordable mortgage. The homeowners must also pitch in by volunteering on their own home’s project and/or at other Habitat build sites.

Located on Bermuda Avenue, volunteers began construction on the three-room home by framing the exterior walls.

“It’s helping somebody out and giving back,” said volunteer Bubba Kennon, of Mount Holly, who has been building the homes for about four years.

Gastonia’s ongoing support of a nonprofit that strives to provide affordable housing has been demonstrated time and again over the last three decades.

But city leaders sought to reaffirm their relationship with Habitat for Humanity of Gaston County this month with a public showing of thanks and congratulations. They approved a proclamation that hails the organization for the innumerable positive effects it has had on the community, while commending it for reaching a noteworthy milestone in its 30th year of service.

Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Mary Harris and a number of other key staff members were on hand to receive the declaration during a City Council meeting. And President John Lowery said there’s simply no way to overstate how much the charitable agency has depended on municipal support.

“To be honest with you, we could have never survived without the excellent partnership we have had with the city of Gastonia,” he said.

High school football players and coaches get few breaks during the summer months between workout sessions, conditioning programs and 7-on-7 passing leagues.

But for one week last month, Hunter Huss High coach Jamar McKoy had his players take a break from their workout regimens and instead pour their efforts into a win off the gridiron.

Nearly 20 Huskies football players participated in one of the two home projects currently under construction. The group primarily helped paint inside the home, but also assisted with an assortment of other tasks.

“To get involved with a community project meant the world to me. But the fact they wanted to volunteer actually meant more,” McKoy said...

Strength

A Habitat home is a strong foundation for a family, an opportunity on which they can build a better life. Strong and stable homes help build strong and stable communities.

Stability

A Habitat home is a stabilizing force for a family. Better, affordable living conditions lead to improved health, stronger childhood development and the ability — and financial flexibility — to make forward-looking choices.

Self-Reliance

Through shelter, we empower. A decent place to live and an affordable mortgage help homeowners save more, invest in education, pursue opportunity and have more financial stability.
